Adventure in the making!

Since my last post I had sent my book to a publisher but unfortunately no reply back...yet ;)
Anyhoo I will continue to write, because I like my stories and really you never know whats going to happen to your characters until you write it. It's like going on a whole new adventure and they really are the best!
Now I'm going back to continue my adventure with a few of my closest friends <3

2012

So, I can't really remember when my last post was. If i bothered to check I'd have found out but instead of looking at all my old posts I decided to just write a new one.
I sent my book to a publisher a few weeks ago and hope to find out if they want more/ are interested in the next few weeks by e-mail. I'm excited but still a little nervous. At the moment i don't even know if I take it seriously. If they like it and want me to send more, then that means that they liked it and I could get published? Its weird thinking about it but I don't want to get too excited incase nothing happens *insert sad face*
In the meantime, amongst tafe and waiting, i'm writing and editing my other books.
Hopefully I'll hear some good news soon!
That's it from me, have  alvoely day/night

Everyone can write, not everyone can write a book.

Well it's been almost a year since I started this blog and I haven't really done anything with it. I started this blog to share about my writing and practice my writing in a differnet form, and I haven't really done either of those things.
Earlier this year I finished my first book and began writing the rest of the series. At the moment, I am still only at that stage. I have one completely finished book and about 4 unfinished.

I love writing and reading. Reading always provided an escape to me from things in life. I could literally lose myself in a books pages and become the main character in the story. I learnt to analyse the way a book was written as I read. Even now, before I even finish the book or get to the climax of the story, I already have an idea of whats going to happen, already guessed what's going to happen next. I love how authors hide things from their readers and leave them questioning things that are then revealed later in the same pages. Small hints, clues are left in every single page and the story continues, slowly revealing the bigger picture.
It's the same in movies.
A small conflict leads into something much, much bigger.

One book can easily turn into seven. That's what I love about writing. You can keep writing and writing and writing about the same world you've created over and over again. And everything that happens is all up to you. You decide what problems your characters face and how they choose to fix them. The best part is, even after starting a new series or a new boook, you can always return back to that same place you fell in love with and pick up where you left off to continue the stories of the characters you first created.

I had an epiphany

I realised i'm a horrible blogger *sad face*
I blog once a month haha shows how much I love to BLOG!
Well anyways, I can't really blame that on work eventhough I'd love to, but it all comes down to the fact I've been quite lazy lately (sad, but true).
Evidence of my laziness: sleeping in till 11, eating, lazing around, playing sims (hehe)
But, I have been doing a little writing here and there on my breaks and I've started planning out one of my books tonight so i thought that was a good start.
I've decided to be proactive! and actually do something with my time cause playing sims isn't going to help me with where I want to go in the future (eventhough it's quite fun).
So yes, I finished a chapter today of one of my other novels and started hte plannign for a differnet one.

YAY! I think my plan is working☺☺☺☺

It's been a (long) while

Helllooooo

it's been a while since i've blogged and so I thought i'd give you a quick update on the life of Ally. As far as writing goes, it's been a bit slow. I have completed one book and have started about 4 I think I try to stick with one at a time but I can't help it, I do try though. Other than that, writing and seeing friends. Also, I'm 18 in 8 days YAY!!! Which also means it's my twin sisters b'day in 8 days!! She's the loveliest person to share a  birthday with though <3

At the moment i'm reading ballad by maggie steivfater adn I'm LOVING it! I read the first book in the series called lament and was waiting eagerly for ballad. As soon as it came onto the book shelves I bought it and I was so happy (people at work say i should get out more :/ ).

And then tonight I went out and saw this bookcafe/high tea place as I drove past and noticed big posters of the book covers and that was when I decided I would go visit that place one day and eat their cakes.

I'd also like to recommend beautiful creatures - kami garcia and margaret stohl to anyone who is wanting something to read at the moment. The second book beautiful darkness is also a really good read I loved them both.

I'm Baaaack

I was just getting ready for work when I realised I hadn't posted on here for a while. So, I'm posting! I've been a little busy with work, reading, writing and my sisters wedding, which was beautiful. She had it in the mountains and she looked gorgeous I'll put up some pictures later. Me, my other sister and the groom's sister were all bridesmaids. Everyone dressed up formally and it was really good.
Oooh and for the hen's night we went to Dracula's cabaret restaurant on the Gold Coast, it was soo fun. Didn't really know what to expect and I was gettting all freaked out, it wasn't actually that scary at all. We all went on the ghost train which was fun too and then we settled into the  'underbelly' seats to watch the show. The show was called 'black blood' and was really good. The actors were very humorous and well re-hearsed when needed to be.
I have decided I will go again *happy face*
Well i'm not too sure what else to say except for how my writing is going. I decided the second book will be a prequel in third person. and I also have started the start of the fourth which has alternating perspectives between a guy and a girl. The third book will be with the same characters as the first. That sounds a bit confusing but it will have to do for now.
Well i better go and finish getting ready for work.
Hope you are having a wonderful day/night

I couldn't resist

My cute little baby with her tea stained mouth. Her name is Jewel and is a bichon frise, she kicks you if she is sleeping on your bed because she wants more space, snores, loves belly tickles and rubs (what dog doesn't?) rolls in the dirt after a bath, steals chocolate so you have to run after her so she doesn't actually eat it and loves to shred tissues and make a big mess!
Oh, and eats teabags :S

She recently got a hair cut and they gave her a close shave haha poor doggy :( but she is still soo cute.
